Skills Lab
Welcome to the Skill Lab - a hands-on space where I sharpen specific skills, one focused challenge at a time. Here you’ll find deep dives into topics like regex, scripting, Go, SQL, shell-fu, and everything in between.
Whether it’s writing a tight one-liner, exploring a new language, or reverse-engineering a weird bug — this is where the craft gets built.
No fluff. Just pure, focused practice.
